Hey there! Need some Aussie love here!

I am in Canada first off.

The short story is I got a new Haltech Platinumm Pro ECU installed and tuned. The guy did a great job and got me 398HP with a single turbo and injectors on stock internals on 17psi I believe.

Anyways there was no codes on my ETS before but now I get a code 21 (throttle sense). I get a 4wd light on the first start of the day but every other start in the day no code. When light comes on yes I get 2wd only. I have followed the manual to trouble shoot but everything checks out -

replaced tps

replaced ets

and wiring must be ok because the fault only comes on with the first start of the day. Turn engine off and restart many times after and no fault

Sooo to my question and what I am working on.

TPS input I set to .5V no throttle (in the tuning software) and press throttle to floor and hit set and comes to 4.8V ish

The tps input filter recommends 5 I believe and have tried 0 to 8 and 21 code still pops up.

TPS output setting I just found which is the setting for signal out to the ETS in the trunk. I just set the filter to 10... I started once (cold start) and no code but this is nothing new its intermittent.

Soooooooooo I guess the main question would be has anyone know of someone that had 4WD issues after new ECU and what would be a safe setting for the TPS input filter and Output filter??

Please ask around for you aussies have been playing with these cars alot longer than us haha

Thanks

I have the very same error which just recently occurred.

Car was recently tuned (E85 flex tune) with Hatlech Platinum Pro Plug in ECU

4WD was working then badoontish the 4WD light came on last Sunday as error code 21 TPS or circuit error

I also replaced the TPS with a brand new Nissan item and still same error code 21

I will get to the bottom of this as I think the Haltech TPS output setting may be outa whack

I will keep you peeps posted

Found the solution to my issue.

Was relatively straight forward.

It was a ground wire in behind the car battery (also grounding the battery wire) - it wasn't grounded

Gave it a good clean, a new bolt and 4WD light gone and the front torque gauge works perfectly!

Check your earths people. It may be just that simple.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
